Cho On (Cao Dean) was born at then end of the 19th century. The relative of Cho Dak-Shing, he learned Wing Chun from in their native village of Panyu. In the late-1920s/early-1930s he lived in Hong Kong for a short time where he worked as a Dim Sum chef and taught some Wing Chun Kuen. He later went to Penang, Malaysia where he worked as a cook and by the 1940s was teaching the Wing Chun Kuen system of his family to select students. Among his students were Cho Hung-Choi and Lao Suen-Yuen. Cho On passed away in the 1980s at over 90 years of age.

I believe he also went to Foshan before HK and visited with Yuen Kay-San, Yip Man, Cheung Bo, and the rest of the folks who frequented Tien Hoi restaurant.

I had already read all this, I was looking for a specific date????

We know it was somewhere between the 1930s and 1940s but there were no specifics???

Hi Brian,

Yip Kin has no relation to Yik Kam (though he might have interacted with Cho On when he got to Malaysia, the systems each brought there and taught there were/are distinct)

Do you mean when did he move to Malaya (was it Malaysia already by then?) or when did he start teaching there?

Hendrik,

As you may have noticed, I'm staying away from the history threads and exchanging on the technical ones instead for now.

Too much noise, too many trolls, and too much pumping for info without good faith exchange, and not enough people trying to turn it around. I can be more productive over private email.

[Phenix]

Rene,

I certainly agree.

I'm trying to narrow down the those 20 years to a possible date, I can't see how that is asking anything out of order
